The invention discloses a cleaning method applied to a
graphite heat exchanger, which comprises the following steps: S1, detecting
dirt, and calculating the thickness of a
dirt layer; s2, preparing a cleaning solution; s3, internal circulation cleaning is conducted, specifically, the prepared cleaning solution is injected into the
graphite heat exchanger, and a
circulating pump conducts low-pressure internal circulation flowing; s4, emptying the cleaning liquid, and discharging the cleaning liquid after cleaning through a drainage
pipe; s5, pure water flushing, wherein pure water is used for flushing the
graphite heat exchanger; s6, high-pressure flushing is carried out, and the high-
pressure pipe is closed when discharging objects and
dirt at an outlet are all discharged; s7,
residual moisture is removed, the interior of the graphite heat exchanger is blow-dried through a blow-
drying tool, and no
moisture is left; and S8, a protective film is formed on the surface of graphite,
grease, dust and
oxide on the surface of the graphite heat exchanger are removed before passivating treatment, passivating treatment is conducted on the surface of the graphite through a passivating agent, and the protective film is formed. The graphite heat exchanger can be cleaned up, and the
heat transfer efficiency is improved.
